RUTHFULLY YOURS

Worth submitting to this ‘Dictator’ Sacha Baron Cohen’s latest film, now playing in the US, offers an extra layer of jokes for viewers with knowledge about the Middle East

One of the more disingenuous claims you’re likely to see this year arrives during the final credits of “The Dictator,” in which Paramount Pictures declares that any resemblance between the film and real life is purely coincidental.
The claim is preposterous, of course, as anyone who’s seen a trailer can attest. Sacha Baron Cohen’s title character, the ruler of a made-up country called Wadiya, is a transparent hybrid of despots from the Muslim world — a tyrant who dresses like Muammar Ghadafi, approaches sports like one of Saddam Hussein’s sons, and enjoys the same grotesquely extravagant lifestyle as a Saudi prince. The similarities are the entire point of the film.

That absurd disclaimer aside, “The Dictator” is a jauntily amusing ride. Although a backlash against Baron Cohen has started to emerge in some quarters, the film reconfirms its star’s comic bona fides, delivering a largely successful stream of satire in its concise 83 minutes. Some Arab-Americans have protested the film’s portrayal of their Middle Eastern counterparts, and Jewish viewers may squirm during a scene involving a video game based on the terrorist massacre of Israelis at the Olympics. Many of the jokes aren’t terribly ambitious – figures like Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Kim Jong-il (the film is dedicated to the latter) practically write the punchlines themselves.

The obstacle of world opinion http://www.israelhayom.com/site/newsletter_opinion.php?id=1896 World opinion should not deter Israel from enhancing Jewish roots and national security, expanding the Jewish presence in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and the Golan Heights, and pre-empting Palestinian and Hezbollah terrorism.

State Sen. Deb Fischer upended the Nebraska Senate GOP primary on Tuesday, coming from behind to win the nomination over perceived front-runner Attorney General Jon Bruning, who had been leading in the polls by double digits just weeks ago.

Fischer will face former governor and Democratic Sen. Bob Kerrey this November in an open race for the seat currently held by retiring Democratic Sen. Ben Nelson. Fischer enters the general election with an edge over Kerrey because of the conservative lean of the Cornhusker State. National Democrats see Kerrey as their best chance to keep the state in Democratic hands, while Republicans view it as a must-win in their efforts to win a Senate majority. Democrats currently control the chamber 53-47.

Treasurer Don Stenberg fell short in what was essentially a three-way nomination contest, delivering an electoral blow to the cadre of conservative activists that had endorsed him, including Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., the anti-tax group Club for Growth, and the Tea Party-aligned Freedom Works.

The following are what the holy Quran teaches, but the President Obama know not:

* Qur’an:9:88 “The Messenger and those who believe with him, strive hard and fight with their wealth and lives in Allah’s Cause.”
* Qur’an:9:5 “Fight and kill the disbelievers wherever you find them, take them captive, harass them, lie in wait and ambush them using every stratagem of war.”
* Qur’an:9:112 “The Believers fight in Allah’s Cause, they slay and are slain, kill and are killed.”
* Qur’an:9:29 “Fight those who do not believe until they all surrender, paying the protective tax in submission.”
* Qur’an:8:39 “Fight them until all opposition ends and all submit to Allah.”
* Qur’an:8:39 “So fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief [non-Muslims]) and all submit to the religion of Allah alone (in the whole world).”
* Qur’an:9:14 “Fight them and Allah will punish them by your hands, lay them low, and cover them with shame. He will help you over them.”
* Qur’an:8:65 “O Prophet, urge the faithful to fight. If there are twenty among you with determination they will vanquish two hundred; if there are a hundred then they will slaughter a thousand unbelievers, for the infidels are a people devoid of understanding.”

Lacking Courage, Politicians Not Moving on Fast and Furious Scandal

A handful of Republicans are pursuing the biggest scandal in American history, but guess what: House Speaker Boehner isn’t one of them, and that puts him on par with Democrats like Jim Costa, who think “Issa and Holder should sit down and work it out.”

West Virginia Democrat Nick Rahall wants Holder to turn over the subpoenaed documents but is “not ready to go as far as contempt yet, no. Not yet.”

Rep. Dan Burton of Indiana explained why he thinks Boehner, along with Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) and Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), are going along to get along.

With the other issues, the economy and everything else, I think they would like to focus on that. I don’t think they’re opposed to going ahead with the contempt citation; it’s just that if we can get the Justice Department to move without having to move it, they would probably prefer that.
